Lu Siya's voice came to an abrupt halt.
Her brain waves were in a mess.
It showed that her body and mind were in great pain.
Even if she had been treated by a hypnotist, a mind trainer, and a brain surgeon, she was temporarily not suited to receive any deeper hypnosis.
But the information she revealed was already rich and shocking enough.
The best mind trainer, brain surgeon, ace investigator, military elite, master of mega corporations, and martial arts legend in the Supernatural Tower and Battle God Palace were all in Dragon City.
Regardless of their status and stance, everyone's expressions changed.
Meng Chao was a really tough man with an iron will.
He would rather jump into the Demon's Eye and endure the extreme pain of having his bones crushed in the spirit energy tsunami.
He also did not want to lower his noblest head in front of any enemy.
"Meng Chao …"
Lei Zongchao was silent for a long time in the depths of Battle God Palace. Then, he let out a long sigh. "You live up to your name as the Son of Dragon City. You are our greatest pride!"
With the clues Lu Siya provided, the joint investigation group soon found the smooth mirror-like cliff above the Demon's Eye.
They also found the crack where Meng Chao jumped out.
Through the cracks, they found more clues underground, and they verified Lu Siya's statement.
A devastating battle had indeed broken out near the underground river.
The opponent was a monster formed by Blood Flower bacterial flora and the superalgae known as the green tide.
Once Lu Siya's brain and mental strength index gradually returned to normal, the joint investigation group hypnotized her twelve times and cross-questioned her.
He scrutinized every detail of her statement over and over again, and then compared it with the clues from the on-site investigation and carried out the most rigorous comparison.
In the end, there were no mistakes.
All the details were connected to each other, and they were linked together perfectly.
In fact, many of the parts of the battle that Lu Siya could not remember clearly could be perfectly pieced together with the evidence they obtained at the scene and the experts meticulously reconstructed them to recreate the entire process of the battle.
Aside from that, Lu Siya also drew a lot of pictures in her mind while she was hypnotized.
She also drew Meng Chao's golden outline and the heroic image of him standing above the Demon's Eye.
The pictures she drew were also 100% identical to the battle the experts reconstructed.
Of course, she drew dozens of different appearances of the monster.
Most of the time, she could only draw a wriggling ball that looked like a mess or a vortex.
That was normal.
It was a monster that even Meng Chao and Lu Siya could not suppress even when they worked together, so it was only natural that it had incredibly powerful mind attacks and brainwave interference abilities. No one could see its true face.
If the description was too clear and conclusive, there would be problems.
Unfortunately, no one was able to find any traces of Meng Chao in the depths of the Demon's Eye.
This was the place where Red Dragon River and Tiger's Rage River intersected. It was the place where the water was the most rapid, the spirit energy was the fiercest, and the most unpredictable.
Even though the entire Hidden Fog Desolate Domain had cleared up from the rain, this place was filled with rolling thunderbolts that resembled the roar of an angry dragon all year round.
Even the main streams of two large rivers would often change their course, not to mention the complicated tributaries.
A lot of time had passed, and Meng Chao might have already been swept to the ends of the world.
Half a month later, the investigation team could only suspend the search and rescue and announce the conclusion of the investigation.
The monster civilization that Meng Chao and Lu Siya ran into at the summit of God Fog Mountain should have escaped.
The monster might have been heavily injured during the humans' attack on the monster's nest.
There was also a possibility that it was a super abnormal beast that was still in its embryonic state — Apocalyptic Beast Ultimate Form.
In fact, before the monster's mastermind fell into the hands of humans, it might have placed its final hope on it.
In any case, after the monster civilization was destroyed, it temporarily lost the ability to escape from Hidden Fog Desolate Domain.
It could only use the principle of hiding under the light to hide in the depths of God Fog Mountain and quietly lay dormant as it grew.
Perhaps it originally had a series of terrifying and evil plans.
There was even a possibility that it could make the monster civilization rise from the ashes.
Unfortunately, it ran into Lu Siya, a Spirit Sensor.
And Meng Chao, the greatest miracle in Dragon City!
Practically everyone believed in this conclusion.
Except for one person.
And that was Lu Siya herself.
…
There was a huge mirror at the foot of Lu Siya's bed.
She sat upright on the bed and did not move like a statue. She observed her reflection in the mirror.
It was as if she was observing a completely unfamiliar existence.
Just like that, she observed her for an entire night.
She did not even move a single finger.
Even when Lu Fanghui brought the final medical evaluation report and walked into the room with a delighted expression, she still did not look up to look at her father.
"Siya, you can be discharged now."
Lu Fanghui didn't care about his daughter's strange behavior. He shook the appraisal report. "Both the old master and the top medical team said that it's an incredible miracle that you could recover to this extent.
"In fact, not only did you heal the wounds and swelling, but you also eliminated all the viruses and archaea that invaded your body. It's also a blessing in disguise. Your cell activity has increased to an unprecedented level. I believe it will be very beneficial for your future cultivation.
"Looks like you made the right bet.
"In the most extreme weather, I went to the summit of God Fog Mountain, where the crystal mines are. I also activated my vitality magnetic field to the max to fight to the death.
"It's true that it's a narrow escape.
"But as long as you are lucky enough to survive the disaster, you will have the chance to absorb a large amount of spirit energy and produce mysterious reactions in the depths of your cells. You will be able to break through the limits of a human at a faster rate!
"The old man is very satisfied with your recovery.
"The Investigation Bureau has also concluded their internal investigation on you. You are welcome to resume your position at any time.
"The group, the family, and the investigation bureau all have a lot of things waiting for you to do!"
Compared to Lu Fanghui's excitement …
Lu Siya was unmoved.
It was as if compared to the missions from the family and the investigation bureau, she was more interested in the faint light hidden in the depths of her eyes.
Lu Fanghui noticed his daughter's strange behavior.
He frowned a little. "Siya, I know that this matter dealt a huge blow to you, but you're not the kind of person who will be unable to recover after suffering a setback. Could it be that this time … is it even worse than what happened at Raging Waves?"
Lu Siya finally looked up and cast her father a faint glance.
Then, she looked away and continued immersing herself in her mind maze to think hard.
"It's not worse, but stranger. I have a feeling that things aren't as simple as they seem."
She remained silent for a long time before she spoke.
"What's strange about it?"
Lu Fanghui was stunned. "Didn't you see everything with your own eyes, including how Meng Chao dragged the monster into the Demon's Eye?"
"I did indeed see it with my own eyes. At the very least, I 'remember' seeing it with my own eyes."
Lu Siya rubbed her temples gently. "That's the problem. Dad, don't you think that I remember it too clearly?
"I'm a superhuman who went through spirit energy deviation, ran out of spirit energy, was heavily injured, and was on the verge of death. I don't think I should remember everything so clearly.
"My memories are all over the place, and I even have all sorts of illusions. These are the symptoms that should happen to a person who goes through a long period of recovery after going through spirit energy deviation.
"But every time I close my eyes, the scenes I see are too clear and perfect. It's as if … they've been branded into my cerebral cortex!"
"What's wrong with that?"
Lu Fanghui said. "Besides, you didn't remember everything. You only remembered fragmented scenes."
"But the scenes I remember are at the most crucial points. They're like crystalline pearls that can string up an entire necklace," Lu Siya said relentlessly.
"So?"
Lu Fanghui said. "You've always been one of the best among the younger generation in Dragon City. You're a peerless existence who reached the peak of Heaven Realm before you were thirty years old. You've also practiced mind techniques since you were young and received professional training from the abnormal beast research department.
"Besides, the old man personally took action. All the factions of power spared no expense and used the rarest medical resources to save you. Your recovery speed is much faster than that of a normal superhuman, and it's not strange at all that you managed to get back more crucial memories.
"Now, all the factions of power of power have acknowledged your statement, and all the evidence is perfect. But what are you still so conflicted about?"
"I-I don't know …"
Lu Siya hesitated for a long time, but she could not figure out just what she was conflicted about.
She shook her head and looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar self in the mirror. Then, she exhaled.
The mirror instantly became blurry.
As she stared at her blurry and indistinct self, she managed to capture a subtle hint of information.
"I feel like Meng Chao isn't dead yet."
Lu Siya closed her eyes and searched for the scattered memories in the depths of her mind. "I seem to have a promise with him. I'll … wait for him to come back …"
Lu Fanghui sucked in a sharp breath.
He instantly narrowed his eyes.
His scrunched up expression made him look like an old fox who was incredibly shocked.
"Daughter, are you going to tell me that you want to make the same mistake again?"
Lu Siya's pupils shrank.
She instinctively tensed up her muscles.
It was as if she had instantly put on a suit of armor covered in spikes.
"I didn't! I didn't! There's no way that's possible!" she blurted out.
"I also don't think that Gray Fox's daughter is that stupid."
Lu Fanghui's expression and tone turned cold. "Siya, I believe that you're smart. You can tell what's an unimportant pastime and what's something that's truly worth us risking everything to pursue.
"You're smart, so you should know that your statement is the best ending.
"It doesn't matter whether it's for you, the Lu family, Sky Pillar Corporation, Superstar, or, most importantly, Meng Chao and his family, it's the perfect arrangement for you to use the image of a shining hero to welcome a grand sacrifice.
"Since the ending is already so perfect, why do you have to worry about nothing? What if you think of more details that aren't suitable to be revealed to the public? You'll just be adding fuel to the fire and tarnishing Meng Chao's heroic image. It won't be good for your own development either."
Lu Siya thought about it for a long time in a daze.
She had to admit that her father was right.
"That's right. This is the best ending for Meng Chao and his family."
Lu Siya's expression was incredibly serious, as if she was trying her best to convince herself.
"That's right. Don't let your thoughts run wild. Pack up and get out of the hospital!"
When Lu Fanghui saw that his daughter had returned to normal, an exquisite smile appeared on his face.
"Trust me, I'll handle everything well. I'll make sure that Meng Chao lives a glorious life and that his name will forever be carved on the Hero Rank of Dragon City.
"The Son of Dragon City left behind a rich inheritance, and Superstar won't fall just like that. Instead, with our support, it will continue to grow stronger.
"The dead are gone, but you have an even more important mission.
"A brand new page has been turned over in Dragon City's history. It's a blank picture that's slowly being unfurled, and it's destined that you'll have to rely on your generation to paint it to your heart's content.
"Good luck, my daughter. The future Dragon City and the Other World are destined to belong to you!"
